Motivating students to become wild readers is always one of my top priorities each school year. From ridiculously engaging read-aloud voices to weekly themed shelves, I am willing to pull out all the stops because growing students into readers matters.
Motivating students to become wild readers is always one of my top priorities each school year. From ridiculously engaging read-aloud voices to weekly themed shelves, I am willing to pull out all the stops because growing students into readers matters. One of the easiest ways to achieve student buy-in is peer pressure! Getting students to suggest books to other students immediately validates the recommendation.
This resource includes…
*3 book recommendation templates
*Book Recommendation Checklist (anchor chart)
*Book Recommendation Checklist (for students)

This was a great way to wrap up our opinion writing unit, and to get students to recommend books for next year’s class. My kids were really thoughtful with their reasons.

Overall, this was an awesome resource for my students. They loved the idea of creating a review for their favourite classroom book to leave for next year’s students. I would have loved the option to change the prompt to reflect the kind of sentence writing or conjunctions we were learning at the time. Thank you so much!
